Importance of Fitness

Fitness is at the heart of the Royal Navy and the exceptional opportunities we offer for adventure and sport is one of the reason recruits choose to join us. There are also many reasons why it is important that Royal Naval personnel maintain a high level of fitness:

Improved fitness to fight and ability to cope with the physical demands of life at sea

Improved confidence in own capabilities and in the physical robustness and determination of other members of the team

Improved physical ability, which in turn maximises resistance to injury and extremes of heat; fitter people are also likely to recover more quickly from injury and physical stress
